on How does Veracrypt work? · c/asklemmy · 1 pts · 70d

For context, I wanted to have a portable password manager and I was going to encrypt the drive with Veracrypt but I wanted to make sure I understand the software before I do anything.

Oh, I didn't know Veracrypt was portable?! Since Veracrypt is portable, that means I can store the Veracrypt software and encrypt whatever files I want on the same drive, correct? Then, it wouldn't matter if Veracrypt isn't installed on the computer and I can encrypt/decrypt the, right? I apologize in advance, I just want to make sure I fully understand what you said.

I saw a post on the privacy community that someone encountered that mobile QR code that Google is demanding you scan. I'm not scanning a sketchy QR code from Google. Just another way for users to be further entrenched in their services.

I had issues in the past with The Wayback Machine. Either never came up or me or its slow. Maybe I just need to mess around with my VPN? I'll try them again. Thanks.

One of the uses I was thinking of was putting a password manager on a USB. Not only it's portable, but I don't have my passwords in the cloud, it's offline storage. And so long as I encrypt the USB, access to the drive would be denied. But I don't know if its worth it.
